What I discovered was that the daylong seminar was a great primer (and reminder) for newly allergic folks; geared toward for families and extended families of food allergic children but appropriate for food allergic adults too.

I couldn’t possible summarize hours worth of incredibly valid and valuable information in one post. All I can say is: Get educated, get motivated, connect with community and get reliable information. If there's a FAAN event in your city, consider attending.

If you have food allergies and want to learn how I dine out successfully (among other strategies for survival), join me for a family or adult Worry-Free Dinners event either in NYC, or selected cities, throughout the year.

Whether you or your family has been newly diagnosed or you’ve had food allergies a long time, it’s always worth it to continue to educate yourself, to meet and connect with others in the food allergic community and to know you are not alone.

I tend to go to FAAN conferences every other year. Much of the morning is a repeat for the "seasoned food allergy family or individual". I like how lunch is set up by zip code, allowing you to meet others who live near you.

Maybe there could be a break-out session in the morning for those who already know the food allergy basics.

My work has appeared in national and international media, including: ABCNews; Allergic Living; CNN; Huffington Post; New York Magazine; NY1; The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post.
